Robust Interacting Multiple Model Filter Based on Student’s t-Distribution for Heavy-Tailed Measurement Noises

open access: yesSensors, 2019
In maneuvering target tracking applications, the performance of the traditional interacting multiple model (IMM) filter deteriorates seriously under heavy-tailed measurement noises which are induced by outliers.

A Method for Confidence Intervals of High Quantiles

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
The high quantile estimation of heavy tailed distributions has many important applications. There are theoretical difficulties in studying heavy tailed distributions since they often have infinite moments.

A CONTROL CHART FOR HEAVY TAILED DISTRIBUTIONS

open access: yesThe South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2009
Standard control charts with control limits determined by the mean and standard error of the mean are constructed based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic being monitored follows a normal distribution. However, this assumption is not always valid.

Heavy‐tailed log hydraulic conductivity distributions imply heavy‐tailed log velocity distributions [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2006
Equations of contaminant transport describing non‐Gaussian dispersion of solute in heterogeneous porous media have been developed by several authors (e.g., Berkowitz and Scher (1995, 1998), Benson (1998, 2001), Berkowitz et al. (2000), and Baeumer et al. (2005)).

The Comprehensive Live Cell‐Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Metapopulation models imply non-Poissonian statistics of interevent times

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
Interevent times in temporal contact data from humans and animals typically obey heavy-tailed distributions, which impacts contagion and other dynamical processes on networks.

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.

Heavy-tailed probability distributions in social sciences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We present an overview of possible reasons for the appearance of heavy-tailed distributions in applications to the natural sciences. These distributions include the laws of Pareto, Lotka, and some new ones.

Estimating 𝐿-Functionals for Heavy-Tailed Distributions and Application

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2010
𝐿-functionals summarize numerous statistical parameters and actuarial risk measures. Their sample estimators are linear combinations of order statistics (𝐿-statistics). There exists a class of heavy-tailed distributions for which the asymptotic normality
